THE WASHINGTON Republican says it
holds that the negroes of the South should
"divde on the political issues of the day and
no longer present solid front, as race
united for political purpose" Continuing,
it says, sit il not necessary that they or any
of the,n should become democrats, but they
should be absolutely independent in politics,
voting for the men they believe best quail
fed for the offices they seek" In other
words, the Republican resorts to the same
old chestnut and advises the negroes in the
South to vote the independent, or any other
ticket that stands the best chance OF defeat
ing the regular democratic ticket. The Re
publican. like Senator Sherman, believes
any thing is justifable in law aud morals
that will beat down the democratic party.

Gathering of Prominent ProhibitiOnists in
Chicaeo-ihe National Convention.
CHICAGO, Dec. lover five hundred
workers in the Prohibition cause gathered
in battery ID armory yesterday morning, at
the session of the National Central Com
mittee OF the Prohibition party. The gall
lcries of the hall were hung with immense
notices representing the principles of the
party. Among the more prominent Of the
leaders present were Ex-Governor John p.
st. John, of Kansas; Frances L. Willard,
of Illinois; Mother Stewart, of Ohio, and
DIR. A. Jutkins, Of Chicago. ID. p. Sagen-
derf, vice-chairman of New York,

OPERA HOUSE PANIC.
A COlOred Congregation Stampedes Will
Fatal Results.


DURHAM, n. c., Nov. ga negro man
rushed into Stokes Opera House. in this
city. last night where {. large crowd of col
ored men ard women had gathered TO hear
Mrs. s. A. Hughes. the only ordained col
Ored female preacher in the South. He
shouted: Fire! Firel Fire!' The scene
that followed was almost lndescribable.
Women and children screamed, and all
made a mad rush for the doors. The
stronger fought with the weaker, and
pushed them down, and the grOans of
women, rs they were being tr;snpled, were
heartrending. "My God! Ny God! l am
dyingl Let me up"' cried one poor unfor-
tunate. No one needed her. Down they
came, some riding on the shoulders OF
others, and blocking the sidewalk. FOrtu-
nately the hall was soon cleared, but for
fifteen minutes the frenzied, fighting,
screaming mass of humanity remained on
the steps aud it was impossible to move
them.
Three negro men stood for a moment in
the front windows Of the second story and
then sprang out, aud striking the stone
pavement they rebounded into The gutter.
Strange to say, they were not seriously
hurt. A boy leaped from . window at the
rear Of the building. He Is hurt internally.
A woman had all her clothes torn of and
went running down the street. Another
woman was stood upon her head, and thus
carried from the top to the bottom of the
steps. When the steps had been cleared
Louisa Chavis, Jennie Stephens and an
other girl were picked up and carried into
a drug store. The breath had been literal
ly trampled out Of their bodies. Lousia
Chavis died to-day at noon. The condition
of the other two is critical.
There was no cause for the alarm and
panic. The fire had no connection with the
hail, and in itself did no damage. Tie
space under the steps leading 10 the front
entrance of the hall formed closet in a
store. From some cause fire was commune
Gated to this closet, and when discovered
was burning briskly. The manager OF the
opera house was made aware of the fire,
and in a few moments would have had it
cxtinguIshed without the knowledge of tho
congregation, if the negro man had not
rushed into the hall and given the fatal
alarm.

they Cover SS0. ooe. 900 Acres Of the Area
Of che Unlted States.
The forest lands Of the United States,
excluding Alaska, embrace 500. 600. 900
acres, or % per cent of the entire
area. The farmers own about 80 per
cent. of the forest area, or some 1885,
600, 600 acres. The rest is owned by
railroad corporations. mine owners,
charcoal burners, tanneries, lumber
men and spectators. The farmers
are the most desirable class of owners.
They know the value of their woods
and devote time and thought to their
preservation. They wrought sad havoc
with the forests in earlier days, when
the clearings were made. and when
the trees had no positive value and
had no market. Now they cherish
their wood lands and add yearly mill
lions of trees for shelter and beautifi-
cation. and for subsequent profit to
those who will come after them. The
farmers area of forest is increasing in
all the Western States, and groves are
as plentiful! as in the days of the Druids
in England, or of the classic cities of
Greece and Italy, and are put to much
better purpose. One thing is to be
noted, that trees will flourish on land
which will not return remunerative
crops. The cOnifers will thrive under
apparently most inhospitable condi-
tons. Forest trees return to the soil
the nutriment they take from it, thus
maintaining its productive power and
encouraging their own growth. The
routes of transportation now render
access to market easy, by land or
water. and these facilities, with the
extension of railroads. grow better
every year. The railroads need many
hundreds of ties for each mile Co.,
OcO. 600 a year in all. ut an average of
two ties to tree), and these ties must
be renewed every seven or ten years.
One acre of land may contain and per-
feet from four to six hundred trees.
In few years these trees will pro-
ducc y rich harvest of ties, and the
surplus wood will give an immense
supply for fuel or fencing. The farmer
with big wood lot may we'll ask,
'.What shall the harvest be?" and
then look ont for rich profit. As
matters 60. the SO per cent owned by
the farmers will now soon be as per
cent. of the tree area--G p DeCey, in

because Of the difficulty of obtaining them.
H. H. Warner, proprietor Of Warmers

secured some very valuable formulas, from
which his firm is now preparing medicines,
to be sold by all druggists:
They will, we learn, be known under the
general title Of "Warner's Log Cabin Rem

"Sarsaperilla, !" for the blood and liver, "Log

that the close of tho nineteenth century will
see these roots and herbs, as compounded
